15 is when most boys are immature... There will be plenty of times in your high school career where people do things to **** them off. If it is known that all someone needs to do is to lick your binder, you are opening your self up to further abuse. Kids can be very cruel, watch out.

I actually sympathize too. All I can tell you is throwing a spaz attack is not the way to go. Either do soemthing about it, or laugh it off, or something. Freaking out just makes YOU the spectacle.

This may not exactly help, but it might cheer you up:

Finger Lickin’ Good Parenting
DELI |WINDSOR, CA, USA
(A man walks up to our hot case with his wife and two little girls.)


Me: “Hi! How may I help you?”

Customer: “Hi - we wanted to get some chicken strips.”

(As I am taking his order, I notice his daughters licking the hot case glass.)

Me: “Excuse me sir, but your daughters are licking the glass.”

Customer: “Yeah.”

Me: “Well…aside from the fact that the glass is hot, we cleaned it this morning with a chemical cleaner to wash off a layer of grease build-up.”

Customer: “So?”

Me: “The chemical we used is a known carcinogen. I might suggest that you stop your daughters from ingesting it.”

Customer: “Look, lady. You’ve obviously never been a parent. When you have kids, you’ll learn that it’s MUCH easier to just let your kids do whatever they want.”

It's not the licking the set me off... it was the blatantly spitting all over my belongings. I can take a lot of cruel jokes, but that crossed the line big-time.

And thank you Magnus, although to clarify, this person wasn't "close". I've just been friendly with him in school.

Fortunately, it' a minor offense with no long-lasting effects.

Well before we get too po-faced, this is about a child spitting on another childs books. Yep its upsetting but talking about disrespect and lack of maturity for 15 year olds strikes me as something of a self evident fact that is potentially slightly less newsworthy than the news it gets hot in Summer.

Im sure that we all had some hard times in school. I certainly did, but sometimes you have to suck it up.

The proper response would have been "Tasty huh?" and it would have been on him but you turned it on yourself kid. Maybe he likes you and was trying to get your attention, offer him a role as a prison guard in your next film.

The lack of invention is abit scary from annoying kids nowadays though isn't it..I mean spitting !!!

I remember two incidents from school ( which was some time ago) . One was where a classmate convinced us all to join hands in a "psychic circle" and then he joined last complete with hidden electrocuting device. I swear I have never been in so much pain in my life.

Second incident was my mum coming to my room to tell me that the school nut case was at the door and to go and tell him to be on his way. I went to have a quiet word to be cheerfully informed (like I was his mentor or something!!!) that he had figured out how to make an explosive device from weedkiller and that his prototype was currently fizzing away under our neighbours car !!!

Still like kcg5 said ...you suck it up.

I recall being in a soccer game (what the Brits call maize) and amazingly my team won, I actually scored my only point of my soccer career in that game. When we lined up to shake hands the other guys spit into their hands so you know how it went. We survived.

I just thought of something, what if 'binder' is some kind of slang and when Michael says "a guy licked my binder then spit on my books" it means something else?

Ahh sports and school...just reminded me of a phone in to a UK radio show where they were asking about sporting injuries. Warning...This one will make you wince.

A group of university students were playing rugby (like american football) and one of them got a meaty tackle that actually dislocated his leg out of its thigh socket. He was in incredible pain and somebody had run off to call an ambulance when one of the students, who was studying medicine said he thought he could replace it back in its socket. After much debate, and to stop the guy screaming they agreed to have a go. One solid bit of pushing later and it was back in but the screams had now risen to an unbearable level and they realised in replacing the leg back in the socket they had actually...... lodged a testicle in the hip socket....ow ow ow ow ow!

Now that might make me furious.

NB I'll admit that one does have a whiff of Urban Legend about it..but its kind of darkly funny and horrific at the same time.

In my day, the existence of 'paddling' (aka 'swats') was simply used as a tool by the hoods to prove their 'toughness' and disdain for the faculty.

No deterrent effect.

Maybe spread salt water on the binder and let it dry. If he licks it again, comment, "Imagine you doing that...and after I p* **ed on the binder."

Michael,

As a teacher, I gotta tell you, if I saw it happen, and you chose to get physical over it, I probably would have looked away. In fact I might have encouraged you. I had a coach do it for me, so I figure I owe someone. Freakin' coldcock him for crying out loud. That's the cool thing about guys. We beat the snot out of each other, shake hands and go out for a beer (or a coke in your case). Just be thankful he wasn't a she or you'd be in for months of emotional crap and you'd be reduced to tears inside of 10 minutes. Seriously, I watch it every day. Boys punch each other and move on. Girls play emotional games that go on for weeks. As a matter of fact, you need to go home and thank your father for giving you testicles.

My backside had a meeting with such a paddle...once.
All it took.
